Doorbells in Commercials. My daughter's dog reacts loudly every time a tv commercial plays a doorbell. It is so annoying. Why do advertisers want to punish and annoy dog owners? Please take doorbells out of your commercials #BMO, #McDonalds, #Doordarsh #Skip

I’m still boycotting- I simply think of it as a permanent choice. Boycott means something that ends when its purpose is achieved.

In no uncertain terms, Ms Proudfoot in today’s @theglobeandmail.com justly calls out petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre for the lies he tells about who’s at fault for the challenges 🇨🇦Canada faces.

These 5 Premiers do not deserve to represent us. They want free reign to take away our rights. This is from the Trump playbook.

Here is the breakdown graphic from the report.
It is Canada wide, even in the west.
Interesting that the older the people are they more they support stronger ties with the EU.
I guess us oldies have seen more and remember.

Have an American walking into my posts saying we pay high taxes, and get nothing out of it, let me clarify for people who don't know, our taxes, pay for Universal Health Care, Maternity Leave, Dentalcare, & many other social programs, as well, our taxes are now pretty close to the US /1

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

October is Women’s History Month in Canada!
A moment to celebrate the contributions of women past and present who have shaped our society.

A collage celebrating Women’s History Month, featuring six black-and-white photographs of notable women arranged in a grid with colorful pastel blocks (pink, green, blue, yellow, and purple) as background accents. At the bottom, there is a banner with a white background and a yellow block on the left containing a blue female gender symbol. The text reads: “Women’s History Month – Honouring the women who inspire us” with a small maple leaf and “Mark Gerretsen” underneath.

Now we're talking: Hakeem Jeffries just called JD Vance's bluff and challenged Trump and GOP leaders to meet TOMORROW in front of the press to discuss the shutdown. Allow the cameras in. Full transparency.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 12d

Meiselas: You’re saying to Donald Trump, to Senator Thune, to JD Vance: show up at the Capitol. We’re going to do this in front of the press and address these issues before the American people, correct?

Jeffries: That’s my position—and we’ll even let Mike Johnson into the meeting as well.

MAGA will never keep their word. And even if Congress negotiates & Democrats get what Americans needs, Vought may very well just use a 'pocket rescission' (something that is entirely made up & fundamentally unconstitutional) to stop the money from being dispersed. youtu.be/zUYeRX__5UI
